The company remains debt-free and has lifted its fully-franked total dividend by 25.5% to 69 cents per share.

    What did Pro Medicus report?

    • Revenue: $261.7 million, up 22.9% year-on-year
    • Underlying EBIT: $196.1 million, up 24.4%

    Pro Medicus signed 10 new contracts during the year, totalling at least $407 million in value, including a major 10-year deal with UC Health Colorado. The company also renewed six key contracts, worth $141 million, all on five-year terms with increased transaction fees.

    On a constant currency basis, revenue, EBIT, and NPAT each saw gains above 28%. The company’s pipeline remains strong, supported by new product launches in digital pathology and AI-optimised reporting as well as a nearly complete Trinity implementation.

    What did Pro Medicus Limited management say?

    Dr Sam Hupert, Chief Executive Officer, said:

    We were aiming for 30% increases in EBIT and NPAT, and we exceeded both on a constant currency basis. Importantly, we have proven that with one platform and one business model we can address virtually every opportunity in diagnostic imaging, providing us with the largest total addressable market. Progress made in the cardiology market represents another important string to our bow. We see this trend continuing.

    What’s next for Pro Medicus?

    Looking ahead, Pro Medicus says it expects to benefit from its newly signed contracts and recent implementations, particularly as the Trinity rollout is now largely complete. Management highlights a strong pipeline with a growing number of inbound requests from major US healthcare institutions.

    The company is aiming to further expand its presence in both diagnostic imaging and cardiology, leveraging its one-platform approach and ongoing product innovation.

  • Sims delivers strong FY26 earnings growth as AI demand fuels SLS division

    Contented looking man leans back in his chair at his desk and smiles.

    The Sims Ltd (ASX: SGM) share price is in focus after the company posted a 6.9% rise in full-year group revenue to $8,007.5 million, and underlying EBIT up 167.6% to $468.0 million.

    What did Sims Ltd report?

    • Group sales revenue increased 6.9% to $8,007.5 million
    • Underlying EBITDA jumped 69.3% to $727.8 million
    • Underlying EBIT surged 167.6% to $468.0 million
    • Underlying NPAT rose to $289.1 million (up from $83.1 million)
    • Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) improved by 7.2 percentage points to 11.7%
    • Final fully franked dividend of 20.0 cents per share, bringing the full-year total to 34.0 cents

    What else do investors need to know?

    Sims’ Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS) division delivered standout growth, with sales revenue up 77.4% to $757 million, and underlying EBIT climbing 429.8% to $172.7 million, driven by strong demand for recovered memory components in the AI infrastructure sector. Repurposed units almost doubled to 16.8 million, reflecting deepening relationships with hyperscale data centre customers.

    The North American and SA Recycling segments benefited from favourable non-ferrous prices and domestic US steel demand, offsetting ongoing challenges in the Australian and New Zealand metals business due to soft steel markets and limited tariff protection.

    What’s next for Sims Ltd?

    Looking ahead, Sims expects supportive market conditions for non-ferrous metals and AI-related asset recovery to continue into FY27. While the timing of data centre decommissioning remains variable, the company expects SLS to contribute first-half underlying EBIT between $75 million and $90 million.

    The group also sees ongoing US tariffs and new electric arc furnace capacity supporting demand for ferrous scrap in North America. In Australia and New Zealand, domestic demand could strengthen over the medium term as new steel production capacity comes online. Sims remains focused on recovery optimisation, operational excellence, and disciplined growth through targeted investments and bolt-on acquisitions.

    Sims share price snapshot

    The Sims share price has been a very strong performer over the past 12 months, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 index (ASX: XJO) with a gain of around 50%.
